Half-Truths & Embellishments

Amy J. Murphy is not a Jedi. (Although she’s married to this Scottish guy that claims to be one.)

But, she is a fantastic liar.

Luckily for everyone, she wields this power for good instead of evil-- although the evil part remains highly tempting. Instead, Amy writes space opera featuring kickass heroines.

She’s twice been voted a Dragon Award Finalist for Best Military Science Fiction or Fantasy Novel by Dragon Con where she’s often a featured panelist. At some point, she infiltrated the ranks of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA). And books in her Allies and Enemies series have appeared on Amazon’s best-seller lists in various sub-genre categories. 

When not doing battle with the angel of death as a nurse (you’re welcome), she lives in Vermont with the aforementioned Scotsman/Jedi and two very spoiled canines.
